If you are a cyclist, then you will know just how dangerous travelling on the roads of Britain can be. There are literally thousands of cyclists who become involved in accidents each year and in the vast majority of cases, it is simply not their fault that they do so. Injuries caused in cycling accidents can be very serious indeed and many cyclists die from severe head injuries each year – of course wearing a helmet will reduce the likelihood of this and you should not worry overly about this as the vast majority of cyclists involved in accidents do only suffer from minimal injuries.
Cycle Claims
Cyclists have been putting up with inconsiderate drivers for far too long but now they are fighting back and more and more cyclists are pursuing cycle claims which allow them to take action against the negligent motorists, pet owners and bicycle manufacturers who cause their injuries. Any cyclist who is injured through no fault of their own can pursue cycle claims and even when the blame is shared, they can sometimes still receive some form of compensation
Eligibility
Cycle claims are pretty widespread and chances are that if you have suffered an injury whilst cycling, you will be able to file cycle claims. Even if you are hit by an uninsured driver or do not have the details of the person who caused your accident, you stand a good chance of winning cycle claims through the Motor Insurance Bureau.
In most cases, you will need to pursue cycle claims within 3 years of the incident happening and you will need to have informed the police of your accident within two weeks of it happening, but providing this is the case, cycle claims would be likely to pay out.
Collect Evidence
It is always a good idea to collect as much evidence as you possibly can to back up cycle claims. This could include taking down witness details, getting photographs of the scene and your injuries and, of course, you should always visit a doctor to check you out and keep records of your injuries
